    This is a basic book on the legal system in Ireland.

    Thank you Pat Mustard,

    the only thing is that this book is on system of law in Ireland, and I am looking for some civil institutions to compare them to polish, ie. contract, lease, agency, insurance etc. and the general rules of civil code.

    Is there any book specialy dedicated to civil law?

    Regards,
    P.

    To attempt to clarify, Ireland is a common law jurisdiction, like the USA and the UK. Even though legislation is used in common law jurisdictions, the common law itself refers to precedent or caselaw.

    In common law jurisdictions, reference to civil law means law which is outside the criminal law. Therefore, it involves everything that is not criminal law.

    I don't think that there is any book which attempts to deal with all Irish law apart from criminal law.

    The book by Byrne & McCutcheon may be as close as you are likely to get.
